Bitcoin remittances and other virtual currencies are increasingly being used to transfer money from one person to another. Whether it is for retail purposes or for personal payments, there is no doubt that the cost of sending money is just too high.

Using bitcoin remittances services could help lower this cost and make it possible for migrants and workers in foreign countries to send money to their families without worrying about high fees. It is already becoming quite popular as a way to transfer money.

Due to the high cost of sending remittances, bitcoins and other similar currencies have gained popularity. Using crypto like Bitcoin for remittances are not only more cost-effective but also faster and more efficient. When using conventional methods of sending money across borders, people often have to pay large amounts in fees and wait days before their loved ones receive the money they sometimes desperately need.

When sending a remittance suing bitcoins or other crypto currencies, not only do the receivers get their money immediately but it is also cheaper for the sender.

A recent report by Blockchain research firm Clovr found that more and more people are turning to crypto when they need to send remittances to their families.

If some of the largest companies in the world, like Microsoft and Starbucks, are comfortable accepting cryptocurrencies as a form of payment, this should instil confidence in using these new forms of payment for sending remittances
